Incidentally the other day I saw in my local ALDI, a similar device which can send transmit DAB, DAB+, and other signals to FM radios. Price is about £30, IIRC.
Yes I use it a pantry transmitter, quite handy, the quality is good. The specifications don't list the power output. Still not sure about the date, I have the instructions and it mentions Walkman's and the option to use with a FR-119 FM stereo headphone receiver, there's a model number but no manufacturers name and I've not found anything on the web.
